Ah - got it. I’m not sure you can post videos directly to the site. There’s always FB - but you might have the same issue?

I do have the same issue
... Maybe I can find something that works (or just deal with the time eaten up by bad connections, upload speed etc and use YT anyway)My runs have take a dive the last few attempts anyway. Haven't got close to my high run since making it, and was feeling confident then too.
The AZB does not accept videos directly, too large. Yeah, without a VPN I don't think you'll be able to access any of the USA based video sites, unfortunately.I do have the same issue

First post updated. A new leader, some shuffling of the list, and a couple new participants. Good shooting all!

I'll try using VPN to upload to YT if I have couple hours to spare. Likely how long it will take lol
Wonder If I can upload to a streaming site from here and it will work in this forum. Let me figure it out.
Keep working guys!Christmas vacation coming up! Lets bump the numbers and get more entries to close out the year
Are you in China?
Also consider in your video editing program on your computer to make the quality the lowest, but still 1080p resolution. I do that to all of my YouTube uploads. It makes the file sizes way smaller. It does not make a difference in how the video looks when played back, imo. The super high quality that camcorders/phones record to are meant for video editing, where you might want to manipulate the raw footage and need the high quality. Then when finished editing, it’s usually exported at a much lower quality.
I have a moderately expensive editing program (Pinnacle) and it is really, really lousy at reducing file size. Pitiful. Worthless.
On the other hand, the free program HandBrake does a most excellent job at compressing video files.
I think half-resolution will be OK if the framing is efficient. I just tried 800x450 on a snooker video and it looked fine. I got a 20:1 file size reduction from what the Windows screen grabber does. When I tried to get the same file size with full original resolution (1600x900), the overall quality appeared to be much lower.

Yes, currently.
Thanks for the advice here, I'll give something like handbrake a try. As even moderate file size can take a decade, depending on the servers of the network connected to.
Modify the recording to be an animated gif.
No one here needs an entire video, starting layout and ending layout after shot should be plenty.
Stack the gifs and post as animated or use an online service.
Resolutions can be small. Use the porn technique for sharing, all the screenshots in one file.
I finally bragged about my porn habit as a computer technique.

Nice. Always good to see your runs.
It was unexpected but funny how the video started with the performer entering from stage left..
Thanks man! Took a break mid session and clipped the video right after intermission. I play too fast when I have to pee lol.Nice. Always good to see your runs.
